Stewart Ryan, Esq. - NJ Abuse Guardian
Hi - I'm Stewart. I am an attorney that practices in New Jersey and I am a former sex crimes prosecutor. I worked on the the team that prosecuted Bill Cobsy. Trust me with your case, and I promise to not let you down.
On September 18, 2024, a Marlboro, New Jersey man was convicted of sexually abusing his daughter over a period exceeding six years. Andrey V. Penkin, 51, was found guilty on multiple charges related to the prolonged abuse of his child.
The abuse began in 2016 when the family resided in Sayreville, Middlesex County. It continued as they moved to East Brunswick and finally to Marlboro. The sexual abuse persisted throughout these relocations, demonstrating a pattern of ongoing criminal behavior. In early 2023, the case took a turn when Penkin physically assaulted his daughter after discovering her with a friend's cigarettes. This incident resulted in severe injuries, including a concussion and facial trauma.
Penkin was arrested in April 2023, leading to a trial where prosecutors presented substantial evidence.
This included:
After only 80 minutes of deliberation, the jury returned guilty verdicts on the following charges:
While a specific sentencing date has not been set, Penkin faces a minimum of 25 years in state prison without the possibility of parole. This severe sentence reflects the gravity of his crimes and the long-term impact on the victim.
This case highlights the critical importance of reporting suspected child abuse. The prolonged nature of the abuse underscores the need for vigilance and prompt action when signs of mistreatment are observed.
Victims of sexual abuse, especially children, require extensive support and resources to heal from their trauma. It's crucial for communities to be aware of available support services and to create an environment where victims feel safe coming forward.
Stewart Ryan, Esq. of Abuse Guardians, offers his professional insight on this case: "The conviction of Andrey Penkin serves as a stark reminder of the devastating impact of child sexual abuse, particularly when perpetrated by a family member. The lengthy prison sentence he faces reflects the severity of his crimes and the long-lasting trauma inflicted on the victim. It's crucial for our communities to remain vigilant and for our legal system to continue holding abusers accountable. At Abuse Guardians, we are committed to supporting survivors and ensuring that justice is served in cases like these."
